Chapter 37: Racing to Answer—And the Final Answer Is…
Douluo Star?
What in the world is Douluo Star?
Inside the livestream room, upon seeing the question, the Skydream Iceworm was momentarily stunned.
But soon enough, it came to its senses and started thinking.
Hmm… the livestream showed Douluo Continent, the Far North, and the Endless Sea. That must mean "Douluo Star" refers to all of them combined, right?
Either way, the question was clearly asking who the highest-level soul beast among them was. And that had to be me—the great Skydream Iceworm!
Thinking that, the Skydream Iceworm couldn't help but puff itself up proudly.
But just as it was about to submit its answer, it hesitated.
Wait a second… am I really the highest-level soul beast on Douluo Star?
Just as it was preparing to answer, a thought crossed its mind.
That "Master" Di Tian always reverently talks about…
Could it be that this "Master" has an even higher cultivation than mine?
Di Tian, the Beast God, had a cultivation nearing 900,000 years.
Whoever he revered must be stronger than him—and maybe stronger than me.
If I answer incorrectly and Di Tian finds out, he'll definitely torment me again…
And even if I answer correctly, this Dragon Essence seems useless to me in my current situation.
If I eat it, I still won't be able to escape this seal.
If I don't, and I try to bargain with Di Tian instead—
That guy would probably just take both: the Dragon Essence and my soul power.
No way. I lose either way!
After weighing the pros and cons, the Skydream Iceworm sighed helplessly and gave up.
Forget it! I'll just be a quiet viewer from inside the seal!
I can't escape anyway, and I don't even know where I am to ask for help.
Back when I was alone in this seal, it was endlessly boring.
At least now I have this livestream to entertain me from time to time. That's good enough.
Realizing that whether it answered correctly or not, it would still remain trapped in the seal, the Skydream Iceworm chose to give up and lie flat.
At the same time, elsewhere in the cave—
When Di Tian and the other fierce beasts saw the question "Who is the highest-level soul beast on Douluo Star?",
They were thrilled.
They knew the answer!
It had to be their Master!
"Di Tian, who's going to answer this?" asked the three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff, the Red King, barely able to contain his excitement.
"I will," Di Tian said, suppressing his excitement. "I don't know how the Dragon Essence will be distributed, but with my cultivation nearing 900,000 years, it might help elevate my bloodline. If that happens, I'll be confident in surviving the tribulation at 900,000 years!"
No one objected.
Clearly, Dragon Essence had more value to dragon-blooded soul beasts.
There were two such beasts in the cave.
But compared to Di Tian, Zi Ji had just passed her 200,000-year tribulation and still had plenty of room to grow.
She wouldn't have to worry about tribulations until she passed 500,000 years.
So the Dragon Essence would benefit Di Tian most.
While Di Tian prepared to answer—
Over on Sea God Island—
When Bo Saixi saw that the Dragon Essence could help a soul beast mutate into a dragon or enhance dragon lineage,
Her expression drastically changed.
The Dragon Essence absolutely must not fall into the hands of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
If that monster became a million-year soul beast with a dragon transformation,
It would spell disaster for both the Endless Sea and the Douluo Continent.
Without hesitation, Bo Saixi rushed to answer the question herself.
Her answer was obvious—the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
At the same time, many others—like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King himself, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang in Nuoding Academy, Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, Tuoba Xi of the White Armored Earth Dragon Clan, and Meng Shu of the Dragon Snake Clan—began either preparing to answer or frantically digging through ancient records to determine the best guess.
In a flash, countless answers flooded the illusory screen:
[Di Tian: The highest-level soul beast on Douluo Star is the Silver Dragon King!]
[Bo Saixi: The highest-level soul beast on Douluo Star is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!]
[Qian Daoliu: The highest-level soul beast on Douluo Star is Beast God Di Tian!]
[Demon Lord (Deep Sea Demon Whale King): The highest-level soul beast on Douluo Star is the Silver Dragon King!]
…
Because of the Dragon Essence's immense allure, the public chat was instantly flooded with rapid-fire responses.
Meanwhile, Lin Yu also submitted his answer—but he chose to hide it.
In his analysis, there were two possible correct answers.
If the question referred strictly to "soul beasts" in the purest sense, then the one with the highest cultivation had to be the Skydream Iceworm, who had reached a million years.
But if the question allowed a broader definition—any being who identifies as part of the soul beast race—
Then the answer had to be Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena.
Taking advantage of his immunity to three wrong answers, Lin Yu submitted both answers: Skydream Iceworm and Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena.
Moreover, as the host of the livestream quiz system, Lin Yu had a special privilege: his answers were processed first.
So even though countless others answered,
The system responded to Lin Yu first.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Answer: The highest-level soul beast on Douluo Star is the Skydream Iceworm—Correct!]
[Reward: One Dragon Essence—Granted!]
A moment later, the system's cold congratulatory voice rang in Lin Yu's mind.
So it really was the Skydream Iceworm.
Lin Yu nodded to himself in confirmation.
In fact, the Skydream Iceworm had been his top candidate all along.
Back during the first livestream, when the origin of soul masters was shown,
It had also implicitly hinted at the origin of soul beasts.
Soul beasts were born through the same principle as soul masters.
By that definition, Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena wasn't a soul beast—but rather a divine beast.
Thus, the true answer had to be the Skydream Iceworm—Douluo Star's highest-level soul beast!
But just as Lin Yu received confirmation,
And before the system even asked if he wanted to display the correct answer publicly—
The livestream's punishments began!
